Paris Attacks Mastermind Accepts Life Sentence, No Appeal Filed

In a statement on Tuesday, the Paris public prosecutor, Rémy Heitz, indicated that the sole surviving member of an Islamic State cell that killed 130 people in Paris in 2015 did not appeal his life sentence.

The 19 other people convicted for their role before and after the attacks also refused to appeal, the prosecutor added, specifying that the decision of the special court handling the cases "has now acquired permanent status and there will be no appeal trial."
